Since seeing the 3D scanner at university I have been thinking about how I could utilise this piece of equipment.Today the first steps to realising this have begun.
I had made an appointment just to have a discussion with the technician to see what could be achieved, and whether it would be possible to 3D scan one of my Memories of Moore sculptures? With the idea of scanning individual components and mixing them up in the stack.
Thankfully I took one of these sculptures in to show the technician, as we ended up scanning it and setting it up to print.
The photos show the different stages the scanned image goes through before it is ready for printing.
What is interesting is how the scanning has added an extra leg on to this piece, this could have been a shadow that the scanner read as an extra limb.
The picture which shows the sculpture in red is how it will print with all it’s supports, all these add on’s give an extra dimension to the original idea.
So now to wait in 15 hours time this will be printed and maybe another direction and adventure will begin. I’m already thinking about different printing filaments and effects.
